Default How much?

Hey guys,

I've been looking at the Tien S, and Tien H sprigns and noticed that there was a .5 ince dif between the two. Was thinking about putting on the Tien H springs, but was curious as to what some of you guys have out there.

Hit me up.

here is my Htech on 19's.....




so you can see the back end better, some people dont like the sag the Stechs give.......
one benifit i found with the Htech is ifyou put anything in your tc in the back, or people.......when it sags it wont rub

I've only had my Tanabe's on a couple of days, but I can tell you, they're great...almost factory ride and a stylish drop.
Better than TRD, I believe. Probably comparable to H-Tech and softer than Hotchkis.

Just like Kilo6_one I have the Tein H-Tech's and I would have to agree on the drop. Very nice look to the car and very close to stock ride. Now I just put mine in last weekend so these pictures don't show how it may look after they settle. But I hear Tein's don't settle much more than 5mm after install.

Mine without the fancy 19"

Now I noticed that the TRD's drop about 25mm or an inch roughly, the Tien S go about 1.5 and the Tien H go about an inch. What brands should I be looking at for the 2 in drop?

Your info is a bit off.. Here are the Tein specs from their 06 Catalog.

H-Tech's are -1.9 Ft & -1.5 Rr
S-Tech's are -2.4 Ft & -2.0 Rr
